2025 is ending soon ...

Yep .. As 2025 slowly draws to a close, I find myself taking a small pause to reflect on the journey of the past year.
A year filled with responsibilities, long days, and moments that truly tested patience and resilience. And yet, when I look back, the overwhelming feeling is not exhaustion .. rather, it is about gratitude. Somehow, in the midst of all the demands and deadlines, the year unfolded with lessons, growth, and meaningful experiences huhu .. 
One of the most significant transitions for me this year was moving from UKMShape to the Strategic Centre of UKM. The shift meant stepping into a very different portfolio, with new expectations and a broader landscape. At times it felt like learning a new rhythm altogether but I would say it was  a meaningful experience. 
This year also brought several memorable milestones. Being involved in the 10th UKM Bitara Awards, celebrating excellence within the university, was certainly one of them. And of course, the organisation of the Strategic Centre Information Day (HIPS), a programme that carried both responsibility and meaning as we shared the strategic initiatives shaping the future of UKM.
Looking back now, I realise that the year was not defined by how busy it was, but by the people, collaborations, and experiences that came along the way.
And so here we are… at the edge of another year.
With a heart full of gratitude, I look forward to what lies ahead. There is still much to be done, many plans to be realised, and many journeys yet to unfold.
InshaAllah, may the coming year allow us to move forward in full swing  with renewed energy, stronger collaborations, and the quiet determination to continue doing our best for the university we serve ameen ...​
